Greeting the mosque during the prohibited times

Question:
I ask Allah: If a man enters a mosque at certain times, does he pray the greeting of the mosque, or does he sit without praying, even if he remains with the ground for a short time? What is your opinion on this?

Answer:
By Allah, there is a difficulty in this issue. If a person enters the mosque during a prohibited time, such as after 'Asr and after Fajr, some scholars hold that he should pray the greeting of the mosque due to the generality of the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): This is general for all times. They call these prayers "those with causes," which are performed when their cause is present. Other scholars give precedence to the prohibition, giving precedence to the prohibition. So he does not pray at this time. The matter is balanced between the two sides. So whoever prays, there is no blame on him, and whoever sits, there is no blame on him. Yes.
